Standard Chartered: Why Tokenization is Set to Become a Game Changer for Global Trade?
This report, co-authored by Standard Chartered and Synpulse, is a comprehensive analysis of real-world asset tokenization in the context of cross-border trade scenarios. The report details how tokenization will become a game changer for global trade, providing investors with unprecedented liquidity, divisibility, and accessibility by transforming trade assets into transferable instruments.
Traditional financial assets can experience significant fluctuations due to macro market impacts, whereas trade assets differ in this aspect. While trade is closely linked to the economy, economic recessions will affect bank lending. However, the significant trade finance gap still provides a good opportunity for investors to enter the market, as small and medium-sized enterprises continue to require substantial financing, creating ongoing investment opportunities. To some extent, trade assets are able to withstand global economic downturns.
